Question

Write an equation in point slope form given: slope, m, = -1/5 and point (5, -2)
A. y + 2 = -(1/5)(x - 5)
B. y + 5 = -(1/5)(x - 2)
C. y – 5 = (1/5)(x + 2)
D. y – 5 = (1/5)(x - 2)

Answer 1

\(\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
&(5\quad ,&-2)
\end{array}
\\\quad \\

slope = m= -\cfrac{1}{5}
\\ \quad \\

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\qquad \textit{plug in your values}\)
